6/4/19
Today I spent the day in Human Resources. I started off by getting to know my host and how she came to SAS. We talked for about an hour about her experiences with SAS and what I would be doing this week. After talking, we went back to her office and started working on different things that she does as a University Recruiting Coordinator. We looked at new potential candidates and talked about the recruiting and hiring process overall. After meeting with her, I spent time with an intern in Talent Acquisition. We talked about his role and what he does for the company. He showed me a bunch of the different programs that he uses to look at people and sort the people they are hiring. He also showed me a bunch of different projects that he is working on. After doing that, we went to lunch in building C and talked about different things we are each interested in. I saw several people I knew from Cary Academy and other places at lunch as well. After lunch, we went to the top floor of building A where you can see the Durham skyline, the Raleigh skyline, and the RDU airport control tower. We then went downstairs and talked to some more people in TA who showed us more projects and how they approach University Recruiting. I then went back with my host and helped her complete some more of the tasks on her to-do list and prepare for all of her interviews tomorrow. I enjoyed working in HR today and am excited to come back tomorrow.
